On 'Political Dialogue' And 'Principles' (Jim Miles)

[Tace]

Jan. 29, 2011 (Palestine Chronicle) -- I have just finished watching an interview from al-Jazeera with former U.S. diplomat to Egypt, Frank Wisner.

My gut reaction was anger at the culpability of the U.S. government, not only within Egypt but in all areas of the Middle East and generally throughout the world. Wisner’s position was the usual U.S. diplomatic garbage about “political dialogue” and “standing by our principles.”

Both of these strands of course support the desire of the United States to have a stable political status quo in the area in order that their over all imperial intentions can continue while the puppet governments and their oppressed people ‘dialogue’ for no change at all.

U.S. principles are clearly defined by their actions. U.S. “principles” are violent and repressive, and have been throughout their encounters since the beginning: towards the indigenous population of North America; towards the Latin populations throughout Central and South America; towards the people of Asia; towards the people of Africa; and today we can see the violence towards the people of the Middle East and South Asia where U.S. military forces are occupying two countries and coercing others through their subservient elites into complying with U.S. imperial wishes.
